Baggermania essentially over

To the editor:

Goodness-to-Betsy! I thought that by informing the Tea Party/Second Amendment fiends that there may be another entity besides the U.S. Military, the National Guard and police to be wary of should they decide to overthrow a tyrannical government by force, they would be thanking me for my admonition. Instead, in my last letter to the editor, I was completely ignored!

But I have given further thought to just what would happen in the event that the Tea Party, et al would carry through on their threat.

I'd wager it would just take a low-flying Air Force jet skimming this herd to make them scatter like so many cockroaches in a dark kitchen after the lights are turned on.

Seriously, I don't think civilized Americans have much to fear from these characters.

After all, they are cut from the same cloth as their draft-dodging, chicken hawk heroes like Cheney, Bush, Limbaugh, Romney, Ted Nugent and, of course, the seneschal of the NRA, Wayne LaPierre.

Risking letters of derision this go-round, I'll offer my critics another piece of advice. Since your agenda and your ideology was thoroughly rejected in November by a reasonable electorate, you may want to come to the realization that Baggermania is essentially over; that the worshipping of Wall Street and the Book of Leviticus is now démodé; that changing demographics has irrevocably kicked in, therefore your future being seriously in doubt.

Your time to come? Marginalization. Your epitaph? The dustbin of history.
